Miracle Dog: How Quentin Survived the Gas Chamber to Speak for Animals on
Death Row is the heart warming story of Quentin and his guardian Randy Grim.
Quentin is a very unique dog for a variety of reasons, perhaps surprisingly
the least of which is that he miraculously survived fifteen minutes in the
gas chamber while watching his fellow inmates die. Quentin's crime: his
family moved to a home that didn't allow pets.

Upon his reprieve, Quentin didn't choose to retire happily to a big backyard
to dream about chasing rabbits. Instead, Quentin decided to become a
spokesperson for all animals with the help of his guardian Randy Grim.
Randy, as the president and founder of Stray Rescue of St. Louis, had always
tried to do his part to protect and save animals where and when he could.
However, as is so very common in such crusades, there were never enough
funds for every helpful project or space to save every animal. That Randy
hated the spotlight, made fundraising even more difficult. Quentin saw a
true love, caring, respect, and passion for animals in Randy. Quentin also
saw that, if pushed and prodded appropriately by just the right miracle dog,
this man could help deliver Quentin's message that would save animals from
the fate he almost shared with his cell mates in the gas chamber.

Miracle Dog: How Quentin Survived the Gas Chamber to Speak for Animals on
Death Row reminds us of the importance of a respect for life. Far too often,
we forget what our animal friends do for us on a daily basis: greeting us
happily after a hard day at work, wanting our company regardless of our
appearance or financial situation, and urging us to play when we start to
take things too seriously. This book reminds us of this gift of
unconditional love and affection. After reading this book, you will
definitely feel the intense urge to run to your nearest animal shelter and
become the guardian of a new animal. Just be sure to really think out your
decision, spay or neuter your new addition, and always remember to love and
respect your new friend as he or she will love and respect you.
